Croppy Fun this past weekend

This weekend was so much fun! Kim, Melissa and I attended a fundraiser crop to raise money for a local church's food bank and homeless shelter.

There were lots of prizes to be had and games to play and even a fun challenge to do! I got 10 layouts done. I consider that a very productive weekend. I got some design team stuff done and some vintage photos on to some pages. Here are two pages I can share for now.

This layout is of my grandfather.

 This layout is just a fun one from last summer using a photo Ron took of me trying to catch a pelican.


The challenge was to pick a set of stamps from a group of stamps that were laying upside down on the table. You had 21 minutes to create something. There was a panel of judges. Here are the stamps and the creations Melissa, Kim and I created.



This is my tag.


This is Melissa's card


This is Kim's card.


My tag won the challenge. I was very surprised! Thank you judges.

There were also lots of prizes every half hour and then a daily door prize and raffle tickets to purchase. Here is a picture of some of the prizes I won through out the weekend, minus the ones that I used during the weekend. LOL!




Thank you to Rebecca for putting on such a fun event! I will be looking forward to attending again next year!

Dr. Seuss Blog Hop


It's Dr. Seuss Day!



Welcome to the Wonderful World of Dr. Seuss! We are so happy you dropped by to celebrate his birthday with us. He was a wonderful highly revered children’s author who many of us learned to read by. The quote below is taken from a Wikipedia entry about his life. I myself (Teresa)  am so thrilled to have had the privilege to teach about him during my years as a school teacher.


“In May 1954, Life magazine published a report on illiteracy among school children, which concluded that children were not learning to read because their books were boring. Accordingly, William Ellsworth Spaulding, the director of the education division at Houghton Mifflin who later became its Chairman, compiled a list of 348 words he felt were important for first-graders to recognize and asked Geisel to cut the list to 250 words and write a book using only those words.[33] Spaulding challenged Geisel to "bring back a book children can't put down." [34] Nine months later, Geisel, using 236 of the words given to him, completed The Cat in the Hat. It retained the drawing style, verse rhythms, and all the imaginative power of Geisel's earlier works, but because of its simplified vocabulary, it could be read by beginning readers. The Cat in the Hat and subsequent books written for young children achieved significant international success and they remain very popular today. In 2009 Green Eggs and Ham sold 540,366 copies, The Cat in the Hat sold 452,258 copies, and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (1960) sold 409,068 copies—outselling the majority of newly published children's books.[35]”

Taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Seuss

For our hop we have several wonderful projects for you to enjoy. We are starting here at Three Scrappy Gals. If you have come from Teresa's Blog (http://freshandrenewed.blogspot.com/) you are in the right place. If not please go to Three Scrappy Gals and start at the beginning you don’t want to miss any Seusstical creations.


Hey everybody! I hope you have enjoyed the projects so far. There are still some beautiful projects to come!
I decided to go a little out of the norm and use different colors, but I used a Dr. Seuss quote as inspiration:
Today You Are You,
That is Truer Then True.
 There is No One Alive
That is You're then You!

This is my boyfriend Ron. He is such an amazing man, but he is not afraid to fly his geek flag. That is one of the main reasons I love him so! 


Thanks for hopping with us today!!

Cuttin and Stampin is sponsoring Theresa, The Scrabooking Queen

We are all excited over at Cuttin and Scrappin to be sponsoring Theresa, The Scrapbooking Queen today.

The design team has created many fun and beautiful projects using the A Muse Studio line of products. You should pop on over there and check them all out!

This is the project I created. All the paper and the stamps are A Muse products.


I used 2 large punches to punch out the scalloped square and the plain square. I inked the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads. 

A Muse Stamps Used:
Woodland Friends
Snail & Co.



The flowers were created by punching strips of A Muse paper with this EK Success quilling flower punch. I used 2 strips for the smaller flowers and 4 for the larger flower. The centers are buttons I had in my stash. The flower pedals are from a Prima flowers tin.

This wreath is my hanging in my dining room to brighten it up for spring. 

If you'd like to purchase any A Muse products, now is a great time to shop!   A Muse Studio is having a huge sale on items that will be retiring from their catalog.  They have stamps, cardstock (including gingham, cloud and polka-dot pattern), washi tape, and dies for a whopping 30% off.  Shop soon, because supplies are limited on the retiring items.


As an added little bonus, I am giving away some blog candy! All you have to do is follow my blog and leave me a comment! These are great for Smashing! 3 packs of rub-ons and 2 cardstock die-cuts, all from DaisyD.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope everyone has a great week.
Get out there and get inspired and get crafty.

This is a close up of the fairy. I fussy cut her from the Graphic 45 paper and curled her wings before attaching her with some foam pop dots. 

This piece has a handmade paper flower, Zva gems swirl, Prima flower center, glitter pens for highlighting.






I am glad I got this chance to share this Believe banner with all of you. I love the way it came out. I am planning on hanging it in my craft room.
